`
` BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE v. IANCU
`
`O R D E R
`The United States Patent and Trademark Office peti-
`tions for panel rehearing of this court’s December 22,
`2017 opinion, seeking to “clarify a sentence in its prece-
`dential opinion that could give rise to needless misunder-
`standings in the future.” Specifically, the USPTO raised
`the concern that the court’s opinion could be read, incor-
`rectly, to have interpreted 35 U.S.C. 316(e). Bosch Auto-
`motive Service Solutions, LLC responded, in a way that
`supported the USPTO’s view that the opinion could be
`improperly misread. To avoid that unnecessary possibil-
`ity, we grant the petition for the limited purpose of
`amending our earlier opinion.
`The sentence beginning at page 22, line 29 is amend-
`ed to read: “Rather, the petitioner bears the burden of
`proving that the proposed amended claims are unpatent-
`able by a preponderance of the evidence.”
`Accordingly,
`IT IS ORDERED THAT:
`The petition is granted to the limited extent noted
`above.
